Liam Gallagher has attacked his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher on Twitter for not appearing at the One Love Manchester benefit concert for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing.

Liam performed at the concert organised by Ariana Grande, playing new solo single Wall of Glass and the Oasis hit Rock’n’Roll Star. He also duetted with Coldplay’s Chris Martin on a rendition of Live Forever.

Liam also tweeted: “What an amazing night last night. Pure love vibrations. Nobody comes close to Manchester.” He had previously donated the proceeds from a solo concert last week to the fund benefiting victims’ families.

It is far from the first time he has tweeted disapproval of Noel, once memorably comparing him to a potato, and calling him “the creepiest soul in the world”.
